The inspiration for this California Chamber Orchestra concert took place on Saturday, December 1, 1917, featuring the New York Philharmonic with conductor Josef Stransky in the Cascade Ballroom on the 22nd floor of the Hotel Biltmore.

The Biltmore was New York’s newest luxury hotel, adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. Both the hotel and the railroad terminal were just four years old.

Across the ocean, World War I raged, and Russia’s October Revolution had occurred less than one month before. But the ladies and gentleman of the New York Philharmonic Society were there for a gala private concert to thank them for supporting the Philharmonic.
